Unable to ping redis server port 6379 from Windows Command Prompt

I have installed Redis in Ubuntu distro in Windows using WSL and I am trying to connect to the server from Windows command prompt.

When I ping the local IP (172.29.0.1) of Ubuntu, I get the ping result but when I ping the same IP with the port number (172.29.0.1:6379) then I am getting this error message.

Ping request could not find host 172.29.0.1:6379. Please check the name and try again.

I have started the redis server on Ubuntu using sudo service redis-server start

And when I ping the server on Ubuntu's terminal, I am getting the response back.

:~$ redis-cli 
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG

I have also tried executing sudo ufw allow 6379 command to expose 6379 port but it has not helped.

How can I connect to the Redis Server that is running on Ubuntu from my Windows command prompt or any other application running in Windows?

I doubt Redis responds to regular ping requests which use ICMP packets .

If you want to check your Redis server is up, install the redis-cli tools on Windows and send a Redis-style "ping" with:

redis-cli -h 172.29.0.1 PING
